I have a lovely layout to share with you today using Hip Kits’ cut file.
I like the design of the windows and the Christmas trees, I designed a structure of a house to make the whole thing look a normal house with trees outside.

I’m scrapbooking one my Christmas pictures I took, I didn’t take a lot of pictures these year so there will few christmas layouts.

For ma pattern papers I used Dear Lizzy’s “Star gazer” collection, I love the fun and brights colors, they’re so fun to work with.

To embellish my layout I used stickers from the same collection and used some of the acrylic star shapes from Elle’s Studio.

I used as well the fun puffy sticker from Pinkpaislee’s “Turn the page” collection.

For my title I used the wood veneer words “happy” and “family” from Freckled Fawn.

I hesitated at the beginning using large cut files but I loved how it turned out!

Our theme this month is winter and our challenge is to use our tools to create our layouts. I’s so happy I have the chance to use my tools, I got new tools recently from We R Memory Keepers.

In this layout I’ll be using my Alphabet mini punch tool. I didn’t know at first how to use it, I just went ahead and used it without reading the instructions (not so smart LOL!) After few tries, I finally read the instructions and found the easy steps to make the mini alphas.

I used Crate Paper’s “Carousel” collection designed by Maggie Holmes. I love this collection, it has lots of embellishments related to theme parks. This collection was great use to my photo, which was taken in a circus.

Once I got the collection, I knew I had to save all embellishments that related to circus for this photo.

For my title I used words ” So Fun” from the chipboard stickers and place it above my title “Circus” (which I made with my mini alpha punch tool!)

I outlined the word “Circus” so it was visible to the eye.

I pierced holes through the work and sew through them this yellowish floss. I tried doing this chain sewing technique, I like how it turned out.

For embellishments I used chipboard and puffy stickers and embellishments from the “Carousel” collection.

Sheryl here, back with a new layout. I’m super excite to share with you today’s layout for

the Spiegelmom Scraps’ DT. I am using one of the free cutfiles from the shop designed by yours truly 🙂

This is great for scrapbooking school, kids… I chose to scrapbook my photo when I was 18, this was the time where I didn’t know what I wanted to study.

I started with a mint cardstock as my background, then I added abit of Mister Huey’s White Opaque mist to brighten up the center of the paper- I didn’t want too much of the minty color on my layout.

I used one of the beautiful pattern papers in the 12×12 paper pad ,from Pinkpaislee’s collection ” Turn the page”, to cut the cut file ( I love the the polka dots pattern with the pink ombre, it really makes a statement!)

The inner part of the circle in empty, so I added a bunch of embellishments from the embellishments pack nad fromt he swatch book to fill in the circle and kept the area around the cut file clean- to make sure the center piece stands out 🙂
